Olympic Mens Tournament Power Rankings

Top 5 & Medal prediction

  1. USA - Havent played KD and frankly dont need to thus far. Great depth and their second lineup featuring the Kentucky boyz has the bench unit looking better than the starters in previous games. The unit of Bron Steph and Tatum and rotating the center position is the key to unlocking Team USAs true potential.

  2. Serbia - I have Serbia ahead of Team Canada soley because of the dominance of Nikola Jokic. The Canadian’s left their only decent chance at guarding Joker in the summer league in Zach Edey and the Serbians have Bojan Bon… and Jovic from Miami Heat who were missing in action vs the US in their recent exhibition game.

  3. Canada - I like the versatile Team Canada has on the wing with Dort, Dillion Brooks and RJ Barret. Look for players like Shai and Jamal Murray to take on more of the leadership and offensive load while Dort and Brooks establish a perimeter defense that can guard and defend the best offensive perimeter players in the world. My prediction, Wiggins and Edey not being on this Olympic squad hurts Team Canada’s chances at meddling.

  4. France - With an average height of 7’0 in their frontcourt France by far has the tallest team going into the Olympics and that is because of two players. Gorbort standing at 7’1 and his fellow frenchmen Wemby at 7’5,  the French National Team really didnt need Embiid and their guards ain’t going to play a lick of defense with these two skyscrapers swatting anything underneath the sun lol. With these two generational talents, yes I included Gorbort in that statement as well, the French National Team will be leaning on vet Olympic assassin Evan fill it up Fournier and being the host nation I see the French doing well at this years tournament.

  5. Australia - Patty Molls and Joe Ingles continues to hold down the fort for the Aussies in international play. Not having Ben Simmons hurts, even though he is a non shooter but the Boomers will definitely miss Ben’s playmaking ability for sure. Team Australia continues to be impressive in games versus the bigger name squads and continues to put pressure on Team USA whenever they play one another. My prediction: 🥇 Team USA                           🥈  Serbia                           🥉  France
